If your dream has always been to strike your imaginations with mountain gorillas and you are not sure of which destination to visit then Volcanoes National Park is that one unique destination you shouldn’t miss to explore while on Rwanda safari. For visitor experiences, 10 gorilla families have been habituated and readily available for trekking. They include Group 13 also known as Agashya, Kwitonda, Susa A, Susa B-Karisimbi, Amahoro, Ugenda, Umubano, Guhonda, Bwenge and Hirwa. Remarkably each of these habituated groups rewards trekkers with unique experiences and rare history that they have to tell the world travelers. A trek to see a group of mountain gorillas in the jungles of Volcanoes National Park is exceptionally a lifetime experience. Treks kick start at Kinigi park headquarters with morning briefing on dos and don’ts that are to be followed while in the jungle in search of these magnificent creatures. The trek may last you about 2 to 6 hours less or more depending on your hiking speed, location of gorillas and nature of habitat. To take part in this life changing experience, you need a gorilla permit which costs $1500.
